Water Features

We love playing about with water and making it do what we want it to do!

We can supply and install small self-contained water features that require very simple maintenance, through to large ponds with elaborate fountains and waterfalls. Our diggers and dumpers are capable of shifting large quantities of soil, so we can build a pond of whatever dimensions you require. Plus, we can help you choose the right plants whether you want to attract wildlife like bees and butterflies or create a watery wilderness.

We can also offer you advice on maintenance of your new, or existing pond, how to manage it and what to put in it whether animal or plant. Give us a call and we can arrange to pop over and meet you to discuss your requirements in more detail.

We are also experienced in the installation of garden irrigation systems from simple, low tech. systems, through to more complicated systems either have their own digital control unit for frost protection and timeliness of watering, or can be linked to your computer.
